Tabitha’s POV.

“T-That’s impossible.” My lips tremble.

I’m their mate? No way. No way! I’m… human. I shouldn’t be mated to werewolves… especially not to them!

“Is this real? She’s really our mate?” Reed asks his brothers. He looks just as shocked as me.

“The mate bond cannot lie. I know you felt it too,” Luca answers, his eyes never leaving me.

My mind is in haywire. I can’t process what is happening right now. I’m mated to my four step brothers? My bullies?!

“No, no, no. This can’t be happening.” I stumble back a step, heart hammering in my ears. The word mate echoes in my skull like a curse.

“Alright, look… maybe this isn’t the place to freak out. We can talk about it later,” Jace says. But I can definitely see in his eyes that he is also freaking out.

I am too shocked at the thought that the five of us are mated that it doesn’t bother me anymore that the four of them are crowding around me naked.

Reed lets out a dry laugh. He combs his fingers through his hair and shakes his head.

    Tabitha’s POV“You’ve toyed with us so much it’s driving us mad, Tabitha. What else are we supposed to think when you were out there receiving the golden wreath from Andrew King?”“Kingsley,” I correct.“Whatever. You looked pretty pumped up when you accepted that wreath from your precious Andrew,” Jace grits out.“What are you talking about? I didn’t have a choice! What am I supposed to do? Embarrass him in front of the media crew?” I ask, my voice raising.“I don’t know, Tabi. But you could have shown a bit of hesitation considering your stepbrothers—your mates—were bleeding on the pavement just a few meters away from his celebration,” Jace claps back.“I did hesitate! Do you think I was having the time of my life getting mauled by the media and photographers? But I can’t just reject the wreath. Andrew is an outsider on the island. I can’t humiliate him in front of people who are just starting to know him,” I reason out. “Is this what this is all about? You were mad that I accepted

    Tabitha’s POVLuca drives in tight silence for maybe three minutes before he decides to break it.“What the hell was that?” he asks, gripping the wheel and glancing at me through the rearview mirror.“What the hell was what?” I say, raising a brow.“You barging to the campsite uninvited and insisting you stay,” he barks back, shifting his eyes back on the road.“What, I’m not even allowed to go camping now?” I reply defensively.“You can, if you can plan it on your own,” Reed fires back beside me.That one hits harder than I want it to. I bald my fist and clench my jaw.“You’re saying you don’t want me around? What, do I ruin the mood for you?” Bitterness bleeds through my words before I can stop it.“I’m saying, don’t you have other friends to go camping with instead of barging into ours?” Reed says.Heat flashes through me and I glare at him. There you go! He’s saying he doesn’t want me to be around them! Ha! He didn’t deny that my presence would’ve ruined the mood for them.Are the

    Tabitha’s POVIt takes me almost an hour to reach Kolra River by bicycle. But Mom was right. As soon as I get close to the clear waters, I spot Reed, Evren, Luca, and Jace’s whole setup by the riverbank. And, as if to confirm my horror, aside from the seven other guys there, Isabel, Elsie, Melanie, and four other girls are there too.And damn does that look like an ominous sight.“Uh, dude. Unless I’m hallucinating, but I think that’s your stepsister right there,” Ian says and nods in my direction as I park the bike beside a tree.“What?” Frowning, Jace turns around and his eyes widen in shock when he realizes that his friend is not messing with him. “What the… Tabi—what are you doing here?”I lift my hand in an enthusiastic little wave as everyone stares at me like I crawled out of the river.“It looks like you can spare one more spot,” I say, grinning. “So I am here to join your camping.”A ripple of disbelief spreads across the group. Ian’s mouth hangs open. Wyatt squints at me lik

    Tabitha’s POVThe next morning, I head downstairs for breakfast. My mom is already seated at the table, sipping from her mug with that calm expression she wears when she is trying not to worry too much.“Feeling better now?” she asks softly.I step toward her without a word and wrap my arms around her. “I am sorry for what I did yesterday. I ignored you in such a disrespectful way.” The apology comes out of me before I even finish the hug.She smiles and taps my arm. “It is okay. Emery already informed me about what happened to Reed and Luca yesterday. I was just worried about you, especially since you arrived home pretty late. I thought you got into an accident too. Especially if you came home with that on your head.” She points at the dressing on my forehead from the tiny cut I got back from the yacht.“No, I was fine. This is just a tiny scratch that I got from—well, it’s a long story,” I say, pulling back slightly.She lets out a long sigh. “Fine. I will not probe anymore. But nex

  • Navy's Sons: Bullied by Quadruplet Stepbrothers   90. Excellent evening

    Tabitha’s POVI count to ten before jumping out of the bed and pulling out the IV from my hand. I look around the other patients who are minding their own business in their own curtain partitions. Then, I carefully tiptoe out of the room quietly. Every time I encounter a nurse in the hallway, I hide behind a wall until they are gone. Better cautious than sorry.My eyes scan the plain white tiled floor and boring pearly walls of the hospital, trying to decide where I should go next when the familiar thread-like sensation tug on my chest again. It’s pulling me somewhere, whispering to me to follow it, so I do.I find myself walking in a hallway until it leads me to a particular room. I don’t exactly know how but at that moment, I was sure that all four of them were behind that door.I take a deep breath before knocking twice and opening the door. Just as I expect, they are all there. Reed lies on the bed with his legs heavily wrapped in thick bandages. Bruises also paint his face and he

  • Navy's Sons: Bullied by Quadruplet Stepbrothers   89.Other Halves

    Tabitha’s POVI barely notice the motion of the vehicle as it carries us from the track to somewhere else entirely. Andrew sits beside me quietly while I try to process everything. One moment I’m at the track watching my stepbrothers getting carted out to an ambulance, and the next moment, I’m being ushered into a private yacht. The doors close, the staff step back, and suddenly I realize we are inside.I look around. The yacht rocks gently as it leaves the shore. The music from the orchestra just a few meters away from our table swells softly, a slow romantic rhythm that feels almost cruel against the chaos still crawling through my mind. I feel disconnected, like I am watching someone else as the scene around me unfolds.“Can you believe they made us do this after the race?” Andrew laughs softly, swirling the champagne on his glass.He glances at some of the journalists in the corner of the yacht who are not even trying to conceal their presence. There are over at least ten of them,
